After testing the waters on the opening stages of the Desafio Ruta 40, Daniel Sanders certainly kicked things up a notch today! The Aussie tackled stage three’s 341 kilometers of rugged, off-piste tracks and challenging navigation with skill and precision, claiming his highest finish at the 2024 edition of the Argentinian rally so far. Posting the fourth-fastest time, Daniel is fired-up for the remaining two stages!

Daniel Sanders: “It’s been really cool to come back to San Juan, the last time I was here was for my first ISDE in 2014. Although it’s familiar territory, it’s a lot faster than on the enduro bike I can say that! The change in terrain today really worked well with my riding style and I was able to work with the bike a lot better. I had a lot of fun out there and I rode well, but I know we still have some time to make up. I’m learning constantly with the team and this will help us know where to improve going forward. There were a couple of tricky spots of navigation but overall I’ve had a great day, so I’m hoping for more of the same tomorrow!”
